Do you remember the basic rules for descriptive words, the ones we call adjectives? Adjectives describe nouns (people, places, things, ideas). You can use your new (and vocabulary you already knew) vocabulary to talk about yourself or other people. Adjectives can be either masculine or feminine. You must use the correct form.
